Air India will change the menu for the first time in last Decade

New Delhi: You might not believe but Air India’s flights menu from Delhi to London was remains unchanged since last 10 years but now it will change soon and if you are thinking that this is due to a strong demand from frequent flyers for the same old dishes, you will be prove wrong.

This is going to be happen because every small or big decision need to approve by someone sitting in Delhi, said a senior official, who didn’t wish to be named according to the sources.

Air india’s new Chairman and MD Mr. Ashwani Lohani was shocked to know when he came to know the issue during the recent visit of AL’s European stations. Lohani, on the spot ordered the change in rules allowing the local officers to take call on such issues like in-flight food.

“I have delegated the power to regional offices to take decisions on such issues. They will have the power to decide on the menu,” Lohani said.

“In airline and hospitality business, you can’t let such issues drag on for years. The decision has to be quick and in line with the changing times. We have seen a new domestic start-up airline in India change its menu multiple times in the last one year after observing passenger demands,” said another official.

“London is one of the most important routes for us and was one of the first destinations where we started operating the Dreamliner,” the official said.
